Falktron at KI-X 2026 in Berlin – The Works Council as AI Pathfinder

Every AI Project Has Two Sides

Employers and works councils often say the same thing and hear something different: one side says “transparency”, the other hears “control”. On 18 November, at the KI-X HR Convention in the Colosseum Filmtheater in Berlin, we show how both sides come together early – so that the brake becomes a steering wheel.

Both sessions are held in German.

Our article Works Council and AI summarizes where the works council has co-determination rights when it comes to AI and what the EU AI Act changes from December 2027.

Talk: “The Works Council as AI Pathfinder”

18 November 2026, 10:50–11:20, Saal 7

We were already at KI-X in 2025 – here is our review. Our guest article in Human Resources Manager explains why experiential knowledge is the overlooked legacy system.
